LOVE
I’ve been in love 3 times. The first time his name was Kevin. He was my best friend in High School and I thought I was suppose to marry him. I thought that was how it worked. As it turned out we wanted very different things in life. He wanted to join the Marines. He wanted a stay at......Read More

It is Good to Be Old
In a moment of crazy I decided to go to the mall on a Friday night. I wanted to pick up a Christmas gift at the book store. The bookstore is close to the door- I thought I would run in and then run back out like I was on fire. The mall was littered with scantly clad teenage girls. A young......Read More

Last December
The colors were faded as if they had been aged by time. The room was crowded my surroundings blurry. Everyone was quiet and solemn. The service was about to begin. They passed around a powder blue book for everyone in attendance to sign. I can still remember how the smooth leather book felt in......Read More

Silence
Silence can be deafening. I have lived through the worst year of my life. Just when it looked as though perhaps things might actually turn around….my Grandmother had a massive stroke. Actually, three very large strokes. We have been told that it is just a matter of time. She is......Read More

RESTLESS
I no longer sleep without the aid of medication. I am not sure why I still bother trying. The sun was bright today. Once again it brought no warmth. It was a bitter ice blue sky. Harsh cold winds fill our small valley. It is going to get down to 8 degrees tonight. I hate winter, and this is......Read More

Blocking out the Light
The bitter air is so cold it burns the skin. It is the second day of winter. As is custom in my ghetto valley- the second day of winter is the day I block out the sun. Our ghetto valley is full of ancient houses- which have within them ancient windows. The windows let in the cold air- and let......Read More

DOUBTS
Nagging doubts scrape long nails against the sides of my soul. I went to see grandmother yesterday. I started crying and had to pretend I was looking out the window. I sat on the floor next to her bed. They have placed it low to the ground incase she should try and get out. I held her hand.......Read More

Driving By
When I was 17 years old I bought my first car. It was a red convertible. It wasn’t candy apple red. It was the cheap red that turns into a burnt orange with sun exposure. It was a GEO metro. It had 500 miles on it. It had been a demo- cost me a little over 6 thousand bucks. I LOVED that......Read More

Screaming in the Ghetto
We went from 12 degrees all the way up to around 70. It felt like spring outside today. Birds were singing, the ground was wet and quickly thawing. You could Smell the spring hidden deep in the ground. I am confident this is not the end to our fine winter, as much as I would like it to be.......Read More

What A Crappy Day
Ok, give me a second- I need to vent. Joey doesn’t like to work without me. I was off last week- he called me every single day- except for Christmas day. He was off that day too. Most days he called me several times. On Friday he must have been particularly lonely. He called and wanted to......Read More
